( Continued from p , 403 . ) ON THE INTERMIXTURE OF THE WELSH POPULATION WITH THE ANGLO-SAXON . It has been held by many , of late years , and by those looked upon as the best historical authorities—and taught , therefore , at second hand by leading journalists , writers and statesmen— -and assumed to a great degree as an admitted fact , that the English are a mixed race , whose blood is largely mixed with that of the Welsh and thereby of the Romans . It is a , late school of historians which has held this , for it bas not alvvays been the teaching of English history . The reasons for this belief in a mixed stock ^ First . It is thought that a population of some fifteen or sixteen
millions of Anglo-Saxons in these islands cannot have descended from the small body of invaders supplied by the Anglo-Suevian tribes . Second . It is thought that the large Celtic population cannot have become extinct within the Anglo-Saxon bounds , Third . It is known that a large bodv of Normans settled here and intermarried with the upper classes .
Fourth . It is known that many foreigners , Flemings , Walloons , French refugees , Palatines , and Jews , have settled here , and it is supposed have intermarried to a great extent with the population .
